  # This is probably scp or sftp or something else
  exit
fi

# Use stderr for output like a good little boy
exec 1>&2

echo "Yay!"

"All governments suffer a recurring problem: Power attracts
pathological personalities. It is not that power corrupts but that it
is magnetic to the corruptible. Such people have a tendency to become
